Chapter 410: Reunion and Ancient Run

He was a tall man with long silver hair that flowed past his shoulders. His eyes were a brilliant gold, and they seemed to glow with an inner light that matched the radiance of the territory around him.

He wore flowing white robes trimmed with golden thread, and a circular halo of condensed light floated behind his head. His presence radiated calm authority, and his expression was serene but guarded.

His skin was pale and flawless, and his features were sharp and elegant. He appeared neither young nor old, possessing an ageless quality that made it impossible to determine his actual age.

After approaching, he stopped a respectful distance from the group and spoke.

"Why is the Star King Administration here?"

Hearing this, Caelus answered directly.

"We’re here to get Mia."

The statement immediately shocked everyone present.

Hearing this, the Overseer’s golden eyes widened slightly.

No one had expected the Star King himself to come looking for Mia.

Just then, two figures of light suddenly appeared above the group.

It was Mia and Lyra.

The two stared down at Caelus, Sylvia, and Sylvie with completely dumbfounded expressions.

Seeing them, Caelus looked up.

"I came to pick you guys up."

Lyra’s and Mia’s confusion quickly turned into overwhelming emotion.

"Caelus! Sylvia!"

Immediately afterward, they rushed toward them.

Mia looked especially emotional after being separated from them for so long.

"We missed you."

Hearing this, Sylvia smiled.

"We missed you too. But do you know who else missed you even more?"

Mia looked confused.

"Who?"

"Dante from the Path to Worlds."

Hearing this name, Mia froze.

"He’s here?"

Sylvia nodded.

"Yep. He came here to find you."

Hearing this, Mia’s eyes widened.

"Is that so?"

Caelus nodded.

"Yep, yep."

After the initial reunion, Caelus spoke once more.

"We have lots to talk about."

Hearing this, Mia and Lyra agreed, and the group prepared to return to the Star King Administration.

Meanwhile, the Overseer of the Boundless Light Faction watched them leave with a complicated expression.

He made no attempt to stop them.

Once they returned, Caelus asked Mia and Lyra what had happened after they left the Abyss.

Lyra answered first.

"I eventually woke up in the Tier 2 World. In this Star King World to be exact."

"And I woke up on a planet called Leno. It was controlled by the Boundless Light Faction." Mia was the next to speak.

"I started there and gradually climbed the ranks. My Talent and transformations helped me continue growing until I reached the Path to Worlds."

After saying this, her expression softened slightly.

"After that, I kept progressing until I eventually encountered Lyra."

Caelus listened carefully before speaking up.

"You guys must’ve noticed it by now, but we arrived here later than both of you."

Hearing this, Mia nodded.

"That means there was some sort of time dilation while we were separated."

"I realized that already. That’s why I left that message for Dante." Mia replied with a thoughtful look on her face.

Hearing this, Caelus nodded.

"If we hadn’t found him, we would’ve never known where you were."

Caelus smiled faintly.

"It’s good that we managed to get together once more."

Afterward, Caelus brought up another person.

"There’s someone else from the Abyss here as well you should remember her. Seraphina Lin."

Hearing this, Mia and Lyra were surprised.

"Seraphina is in the Star King World too?"

Caelus nodded.

"She’s currently associated with the Genesis Kingdom."

Soon afterward, Mia visited the Genesis Kingdom, where she reunited with Seraphina Lin.

The two of them discussed what had happened after they left the Abyss and the strange circumstances that had separated everyone.

Dante was also present.

Mia and Dante then begin speaking for a long time.

Meanwhile, Caelus and Sylvia observed the reunion from above.

Seeing the people from the Abyss slowly reconnect gave Caelus a brief sense of relief.

Even so, the larger mystery surrounding everything still remained.

"Nothing is making sense." Caelus said.

Hearing this, Sylvia responded with a smile. "We will figure something out."

"We already reached this place from the deepest depths of the Abyss."

Hearing this, Caelus nodded.

Whatever was happening, they had overcome impossible obstacles before.

With that in mind, Caelus decided that Sylvia needed to reach the Overlord Rank as quickly as possible.

He turned toward her.

"Alright. It’s time for you to reach Overlord."

Over the next several days, Caelus assisted Sylvia with her breakthrough.

During that time, she accumulated enough power and pushed past her limits.

Eventually, Sylvia successfully reached the Overlord Rank.

Seeing her breakthrough succeed, Caelus was satisfied.

Now, both of them were Overlords.

"Alright, Let’s go enter a hidden ruin."

Hearing this, Sylvia agreed.

Before they left, Caelus asked Mia whether she was coming with them.

Mia shook her head.

"I want to stay in the Genesis Kingdom for a while. I just reunited with Seraphina and Dante."

Hearing this, Caelus understood.

He had no reason to pull Mia away immediately after her reunion with Dante.

With that, Caelus and Sylvia prepared to leave without her.

Soon afterward, Caelus and Sylvia entered the Tier 2 Expanse.

Compared to the regions Caelus had explored before, the Tier 2 Expanse was vastly larger.

It contained enormous territories, civilizations, factions, players, Origin Nodes, hidden locations, and countless opportunities.

The sheer scale reminded Caelus that even after reaching Overlord, he had only begun to understand the larger world.

The Tier 2 Expanse also contained far more powerful individuals than the areas he had previously traveled through.

However, Caelus and Sylvia were not exploring randomly.

They had a specific objective.

They were searching for a hidden ruin.

With that goal in mind, Caelus and Sylvia traveled a considerable distance through the Tier 2 Expanse.

They passed through several regions before finally locating the entrance to a hidden ruin.

The ruin immediately felt dangerous.

Powerful energy lingered around the entrance, and the surrounding environment felt unlike an ordinary dungeon or exploration site.

Seeing this, Caelus and Sylvia exchanged a look.

The Overseer had warned them that these ruins were dangerous even for Overlords.

However, that danger was precisely what made them worth exploring. What if they manage to reach Origin-Lord level with this Hidden Ruin? The chances were thin but not impossible.

With that, Caelus stepped toward the entrance.

Sylvia followed beside him.
